Approximately 25 Pratt & Whitney employees, friends and family members came together recently to demonstrate the company's commitment to the environment by cleaning sections of the Connecticut River near Pratt & Whitney's Middletown, Connecticut, facility. The Source to Sea Cleanup event, hosted annually by the Connecticut River Watershed Council, focuses on maintaining nearly 140 miles of riverfront in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont and New Hampshire. Pratt & Whitney was a lead sponsor of this year's event, during which employee volunteers, including Kevin O'Brien, left, and Dave Alberghini, right, in photo, removed more than 10 bags of trash and more than 10 tires on both sides of the river in and around Middletown.
